Little Rabbit once again reflects on the void from her precipice. Seeing nothing, there is a way forward. She longs to purify, to disappear, to get to the bottomless bottom where prophecies have long faded.
lyrics
It’s amazing
I get sick with joy
Spill out the insides
To the void
Universe
Goodbye
BOOM! of a lightning strike
On the inside
But what do I want?
This joysick, a bright light, this featherweight feeling
This kindness
This knowing all the thoughts in your head?
No, I ain’t free
Take a look over the edge
There’s nothing I’ve ever known before.
There’s no roses no anchor no pot there to piss in
No soft and no sweet no emotional release
No way to turn back now, no meeting the masses no
Roses no wasteland no nothing
That I’ve ever known before
No, the vision’s forgotten without such immersion
To lose all the longing to be in the world
I never saw the leaves change before the trees were bare
Just the wind at my back and a chill in the air
Do you think this is one thing, and illusion another?
There’s something unknown in an unblinking stare
And against all odds kindness sits down in the middle
And lifts up the gloom with her warmth and her light
And when you are calm and forgotten the winter
She’ll speak in your ear with a chilling whisper
There’s no roses no enemies no marching armies
To fight against no one to point when you fall
There’s nowhere to turn back to no bloody battles
No roses no wasteland no nothing
That I’ve ever known before
I’ve made pure the shadows
I emptied the shelves
I’ve swept up the floor
Made a wasteland of life
You don’t know what lack is, this universe
Is a bottomless, blossoming
fearsome and colorful BOOM!
And Yyou go on forever tryin’ to get beneath it all
And you fall, and you fall, and you fall . . .
